Effects of emotions, grade level and gender on pseudoscience beliefs of secondary school students
2022
La educación secundaria desempeña un importante papel en la alfabetización científica y, en ella, las creencias en pseudociencias tienen una gran relevancia. Por esta razón, los objetivos de este estudio se centraron en la evaluación del nivel de adhesión a las creencias en pseudociencias de los estudiantes de secundaria y en el análisis de la influencia del género, nivel académico y emociones generadas en el aula de ciencias sobre dichas creencias. Participaron 125 estudiantes de tres cursos diferentes de educación secundaria (3º y 4º de ESO, y 1º de Bachillerato, esto es, 9º, 10º y 11º grado). A todos ellos se les administraron dos cuestionarios, uno para evaluar las creencias pseudocient…
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…
Effects of Music on Emotion Regulation : A Systematic Literature Review
2013
Music and its use for emotion regulation processes, to this day remains an unresolved question. Multiple experimental layouts encompassing its daily life use and clinical applications across different cultures and continents have preserved music as a self-regulative tool. Therefore it is seen as a very individual but by some researchers cross-culturally, accepted therapeutic tool. Large amounts of recent studies demonstrate the effects of music on emotion and emotionally evoked processes. A thorough literature search was conducted across the data bases for the timeframe from January 2001 to July 2012; CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMED, PsychINFO, The Cochrane Library, Eric, Psychology and behavioral s…
Absolute of Relative? A New Approach to Building Feature Vectors For Emotion Tracking In Music
2013
It is believed that violation of or conformity to expectancy when listening to music is one of the main sources of musical emotion. To address this, we test a new way of building feature vectors and representing features within the vector for the machine learning approach to continuous emotion tracking systems. Instead of looking at the absolute values for specific features, we concentrate on the average value of that feature across the whole song and the difference between that and the absolute value for a particular sample. To test this “relative” representation, we used a corpus of popular music with continuous labels on the arousalvalence space. The model consists of a Support Vector Re…
“I hate this part right here”: Embodied, subjective experiences of listening to aversive music
2021
Although the majority of previous research on music-induced responses has focused on pleasurable experiences and preferences, it is undeniable that music is capable of eliciting strong dislike and aversion as well. To date, only limited research has been carried out to understand the subjective experience of listening to aversive music. This qualitative study explored people’s negative experiences associated with music listening, with the aim to understand what kinds of emotions, affective states, and physical responses are associated with listening to aversive music. One hundred and two participants provided free descriptions of (1) musical features of aversive music; (2) subjective physi…
EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING IN SCHOOLS
2018
The goal of the paper was to research the emotional well-being of students, teachers, and factors that impact it using quantitative research methods. Research was a case study and reflects a situation in one particular school. Emotional well-being plays an important role in personality development. Presence or absence of emotions like joy, satisfaction, trust, and reliance determines the perception, thinking, and actions of students. Positive emotions cause energetic and functional mobilization of the central nervous system and the whole human organism, promotes purposeful actions by connecting cognitive processes with fulfillment of student’s current needs. Emotions either enable or disabl…
A case study of a British ERASMUS student in Italy
2013
This article focuses on the shaping of social identities and emotions of one British young woman who spent a Year Abroad (YA) in Italy as an ERASMUS student. I have examined her negotiation and (re)construction of social identities during her experience abroad from a poststructuralist perspective, which sees individuals’ identities as dynamic and changeable sites of struggles (Norton Pierce, 1995 and 2000). In order to analyse the participant's accounts of her language learning and emotional experiences during her YA I have used the notion of emotional investment developed by Pavlenko (2012). This notion has helped me to understand how, why and to what extent the participant in the study ga…

Happiness, enthusiasm, anxiety, or even hatred? : Self-Portraits as a Means of Exploring Young Students´ Emotions towards Learning EFL
2010
Emootiot eli tunteet ovat osa ihmisten jokapäiväistä käyttäytymistä ja siten myös oppimista. Erityisesti vieraan kielen oppiminen voi herättää oppijassa monenlaisia emootioita, jotka voivat vaikuttaa myös oppimismotivaatioon, asenteisiin kielen oppimista kohtaan sekä lopulta myös oppimistuloksiin. Yleensä positiivisten emootioiden on ajateltu vaikuttavan myönteisesti oppimiseen, kun taas negatiivisten emootioiden on nähty häiritsevän oppimista. Tämän pääasiassa laadullisen proseminaaritutkielman tarkoituksena oli tutkia kahden keskisuomalaisen alakoululuokan oppilaiden emootioita englannin oppimista kohtaan. Emootioita on tutkittu kielen oppimisen ja opettamisen alalla jo jonkin verran, mu…
